Use with Personal GDB

First create a System-ODBC connection to the MDB file in the Windows ODBC administrator. E.g. 'pgeo_somerset'.

Then add a new Data Connection to an OSGeo OGR Provider, and in the box for datasource put the exact format from the OGR documentation. In other words, use the "PGeo:" prefix and followed by the ODBC connection name. E.g.: PGeo:pgeo_somerset

The FDO OGR provider may not have formats you require built in. The FDO 3.4 provider uses GDAL/OGR 1.6, and you may be able to use the gdal16 libraries bundled in OSGeo4W to provide additional capabilities:
